Topic: Readings (Read 565 times)

I am certain I probably should not be this way, but if there is not going to be a Liturgy, I don't attend the reading. Having never attended, I do not know what I am missing out on and was hoping someone could provide at least a couple of really good reasons I should change.

Having never been, is there anything different than any other service? Incense, singing, etc.?

Most often I've seen it done in Lent, with the 9th Hour, before the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts.

It's just a quick read through the 3 Antiphons (Psalms 102, 145 and the Beatitudes, with some prostrations in Lent) and the Creed. No readings from the Apostle/Gospel. The Beatitudes and the Kontakia at the end would be sung, though.
